Arkthur Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I would buy a game again if it's a remastered version of one I've already platted. I wouldn't bother buying different regions just to get the trophies again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wafflestomper810 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) I haven't done it too much, but if the game is really enjoyable I don't mind doing it. Hopefully it isn't something that takes hundreds of hours to do, though. Sometimes I feel like there isn't enough time.

Matrim_Drasgen Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 It is not for me. I want to replay a game, I will and do. Won't buy all the God of Wars on PS4 as I did them on PS3. I would have bought the Ezio Collection of Assassin's Creed if Assassin's Creed 2 would have linked from the PS4 to the PS3. But since it didn't, I didn't and probably won't unless a major sale or lucky and get it from PS+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 Year Old Boomer Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I don't really tend to do it unless the game is cheap enough, cross-buy, or is that enjoyable to do it again. I'd rather have diversity on my collection than the same game stacked, but I don't mind doing a few stacks occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoonerLukeThe Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 only time I would ever do it is if the game has a free autopop from ps4 to ps5, or when fall guys got the new launcher and the autopop for me I like to try new games so I wouldn't want to go back and plat a game again, especially if it's long and even if I did really enjoy playing the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyleh Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Stacking games I enjoy is great, especially stuff like Demon's Souls (4x), Borderlands 2 (2x) and Diablo 3 (2x). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel6burgh Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 absolutely like getting the same platinum twice. I grew up replaying games over and over again. In fact i'm a completionist because of that. I used to do everything a game had to offer way before trophies came out. I'm not going to pay a ton of money to get the same platinum twice, but if It's a ps4/ps5 game it's usually free to $10.00 and I'll pay that to do the trophies again. I have about 5 games in my backlog I already did once i plan to do again someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baranov_925 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Who would've thought that in 2017, we could just transfer safe files to next-gen console and get some 1sec plats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empovyle Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I don't mind doing this for games I enjoyed and when the stack versions are either super cheap (under $10) or given for free like crossbuy, PS+, and giveaway promos (Minecraft PS3+Vita). Doing it at full price is definitely a no-go for me, but I'm not going to judge anyone for the way they spend their money. If it's a game I hated doing the first time though, I'm not doing it again unless I got paid to do it. Honestly now that I think about it, a fairly large chunk of my platinum collection is just stacks, maybe 10-15%.

Nauticus87 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I love it, and I've done it a fair few times with games I've really enjoyed. Such as: - Sleeping Dogs in 2016, 2018, 2021 - Witcher 3 in 2016, 2019, 2022 - DJMax Respect in 2018 and 2020 (I'll do the third stack if NA ever goes on sale again) - The Messenger 2019 and 2022 - South Park Stick of Truth 2016 and 2019 - Rayman Origins (2012, 2016) and Legends (2017, 2018) etc. Additional stacks are what encouraged me to re-read one of my favourite visual novels, Steins;Gate (2015, 2019) In other cases, replaying a new stack has caused me to realise I can finish up the original stack. Happened with Ni No Kuni, originally played 2013, replayed the remastered stack 2021, went back finished original. Same with Borderlands 2 (originally 2012, finished both stacks 2019). It's also helped with being higher on fastest achievers lists. I tend to be above average on speed of completion, but I never practice or plan beforehand, if it happens it happens. Playing a second stack means I've essentially 'done the practice' and has led to being fastest, or near fastest, in more games, such as: - Darkwood (both stacks 2022) - fastest achiever on second stack - Mousebot (2021 and 2022) - fastest achiever on second stack - N++ (2016 and 2018) - fastest achiever on second stack. etc. I enjoy it.

DrBloodmoney Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm fine doing it - trophies give good structure to playthroughs of games, and so a replay can be more fun with a fresh list. I won't generally do it one right after the other, and usually only pay for a game once, but if a free second version is there, and I want a replay, I'll generally do the new list, rather than replay the version I've already platted.

VigilantCrow Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I've never liked the idea of stacking myself. Seems like a cheap way to inflate a trophy count in my eyes. I see no difference between stacking a jumping game and something like Injustice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliebear66t Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Usually not, I find people who stack easy games and auto pop to have awful trophy lists that are incredibly ugly to look at but if its a game you genuinely enjoy and get pleasure from and want to do it all over again then it's a good thing. I think I only have resogun twice on my profile as its a great game with a fun trophy list and was cool to experience on both the PS4 and PSVITA Edited August 22, 2022 by olliebear66t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind playing a game for trophies on multiple systems. I'm not going to find different region versions just to stack something. Likewise I will rarely buy something AGAIN - it needs to be improved on a different system at a discounted price for me to rebuy a game I already had. Most often my stacked trophy lists come from PS+ games I had already purchased on a different system that has let me replay something for trophies.

StraightVege Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Usually, I'll only go to the trouble of doing this if I truly adore a particular game (which explains why I have three Demon's Souls platinums). Otherwise, I can't be bothered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiyanbloodstyle Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Personally hate doing if from different regions, just doesn't look good, i have only done the same game on different platforms like PS3 and PS4 or PS4 and PS5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepheroithisgod Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I don't have an issue with this. However, I am extremely cheap when it comes to buying multiple versions of the same game. That said, I would prefer if there was just one list for every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) ...if I want to replay a game I just replay it, regardless of already having all trophies, but if it's an HD version of a game I platted in the past then I buy it again, but for the most part I just replay some games like I used to before trophies were a thing, in fact I replay Kingdom Hearts every Christmas.

Mellenthin Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I have a very strict policy of only adding a game once on my profile, so stacking is strictly prohibited. Stacking also gives unfair advantages on the leaderboard as you're given full points for a game already completed. Not to mention it looks awful wading through multiple stacks as you go through a profile. This process gets especially painful when you view somebody with a huge number of games played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motokompa Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Did it for Dragon quest 11, with the original and then the Definitive edition a couple of years later. I just love that game so much. I also did it with FF7 Remake, because I wanted to play that Yuffie dlc. So I platinumed the PS5 version aswell, no autopoping. Other than that I usually just play one of the versions. Dont really like to stack the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Nah. I even dislike when different games have the same name (original God of War and the latest God of War, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillynoc Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Not my personal thing (I prefer getting all the plats of a given series in a row instead), especially on long long games like Persona, but if others want to, more power to them.
